A: I manage and maintain all hardware and software used by USAASC (U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center), including iPhones, VTC units, desk phones, desktops, and laptops. In addition, I have a large role in change management and provide input in upgrades across the organization.
Q: What brought you to GCubed?
A: I contacted Mr. Green through a friend just after graduating from college and was taken on as an intern. I spent half my time at the corporate office researching federal contracting requirements and designing implementations, in between standard intern work like organizing and doing inventory; the other half was spent at CAA (Center for Army Analysis) learning the culture and environment associated with being a contractor at a government facility.
After two months I was brought on full time and worked as a desktop technician at CAA. After a year of mastering the responsibilities associated with working on desktop machines, I was transferred to USAASC and took on the additional roles listed above.
